activity and movement at website www.smartsupp.com and in Smartsupp mobile app

The processing of these personal data concerning you, which will only happen with your consent, will take the following form.
We will use the IP address through which you first accessed Smartsupp.com when registering to determine which country you are from, so that we know the language you want us to use in communication with you. However, we will only detect and store your IP address once when you register at Smartsupp.com. We will not detect your IP address at any other time when you access Smartsupp.com.
We track visitor activity and behaviour at Smartsupp.com every time you access the site and the resulting data allow us to provide more effective user support if you need any help or advice using Smartsupp.com.
In this case, the purpose and legal basis of the processing of your personal data is the consent you have granted to us.
If you change your mind regarding the processing of these personal data, you can easily withdraw your consent at any time (by turning off IP address recording and visitor activity tracking at Smartsupp.com) in your user account settings. In the same way, you can re-grant your consent to us after you withdraw it.
In all cases, we will process your personal data manually and in electronic information systems. However, these systems are subject to consistent and ongoing physical and technical checks. All persons who, on our instruction and under our authority, come into contact with your personal data in the course of their work or as part of their contractual duties are bound by the confidentiality obligation.
Categories of personal data recipients
We will primarily process your personal data on our own. However, we may have to entrust some personal data processing services to a third party for any of the aforementioned purposes. In such a case, the relationship between us and such third party will be that between a controller and a data processor and we will have entered into a personal data processing agreement with that processor to guarantee the security and lawfulness of the processing of your personal data.
Therefore, your personal information may be transmitted to recipients falling under any of the following categories:
data repository companies;
companies providing bulk distribution of commercial notifications and bulk customer communication services.
Data storage period
We will process your personal data for the purpose of contract performance during the term of the contract, i.e. for as long as your user account exists.
We will also process your personal data for direct marketing purposes for as long as your user account exists. However, if you opt out of offerings of our Smartsupp.com products and features via your user account settings, we will cease to process your personal data, including during the remaining term of the contract.
We will process your personal data processed on the basis of the consent you have granted only for the period, during which the consent applies, i.e. from the grant of the consent to its withdrawal. However, we will only process them as long as your user account exists. Furthermore, we delete individual track recordings concerning your activity and your behaviour at Smartsupp.com after 30 days at all times.
Right to object to the processing of your personal data
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time (see Purpose and legal basis of processing your personal data, point 2) above). If you object to our processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, we will cease processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes once we receive your objection.
You can send your objection to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing by email to:
privacy@smartsupp.com
In the objection, just indicate your user name and include the text “I hereby object to the processing of my personal data for direct marketing purposes” and your signature. We will inform you without undue delay on how your request has been handled.
However, if you do not wish to receive our product and Smartsupp.com feature offerings, it is always easier and faster to simply use the opt-out feature in your user account settings or click the “unsubscribe” link provided in each email containing our offerings.
